Large Hadron Collider Sets World Record
According to CERN, the Large Hadron Collider has become the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator. Researchers expect the LHC to be ready to blow up the planet sometime next year.
"We are still coming to terms with just how smoothly the LHC commissioning is going," said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer in a press release Monday. "However, we are continuing to take it step by step, and there is still a lot to do before we start physics in 2010. I’m keeping my champagne on ice until then."
